🥸 Analysts at CryptoRank posed a good question: does high raise mean big price pump?

Since fundraising has long been a way to evaluate crypto projects, they selected the largest fundraisers in history to examine the dynamics of their tokens:

> FTT is down ~97%. Total raised: $1.75B.
> FLOW is down ~97%. Total raised: $747M.
> CEL is down ~99%. Total raised: $908M.
> SOL is up ~5,000%. Total raised: $360M.
> XRP is up ~6,000%. Total raised: $795M.

I recently asked myself a similar question - I highly recommend everyone reread my article!

Personally, I don’t really care much about the specific list of coins (except for the fact that I can’t remember what the hell MaidSafeCoin even is) — but what really matters to me is this:

1. Compare Bitcoin’s market cap in 2017 and today.

2. The market cap of the utterly useless DOGE is now bigger than the entire top 10 (including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and everyone else) back in 2017.

3. You can clearly pinpoint the year DeFi emerged.

4. And the year stablecoins became almost the dominant narrative — which indirectly says a lot about “mass adoption.”

5. My respect to Lido.
